Mobile gaming in Japan is different from America. Different style of games. It's not Angry Birds people love it's ports of things like Dragon Quest VIII which are fully functional 'real games' and cost 30 bucks. 
iOS is just a platform so it says nothing of what kind of games can be on it. So dismissing it seems kinda closeminded. Though Rahxephon is a very vocal anti-SquareEnix and Japanese games in general guy so I don't think he'll be very objective about the subject |

Man you're a huge idiot if you think Im anti Square or Japanese games. Like you simply don't know what you are talking about.
I mean that is quite possibly the dumbest thing to say about a person who's almost written novels defending the likes of XIII. But I frogot, if you're not praising the alter of Japan you're anti Japan. No I'm just not a giant biased weeboo. But I'm anti Square/Japan Hahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahaha. You're the last person who should talk about being objective. For you it's if it's not Japanese, it's not good. For you to claim this is almost parody. Man you haven't a clue. Yeah the dude with an avatar from the most Japanese game ever hates Japanese games. And oh boy I can play ports of games I already own and would rather play elsewhere. The actual made for phone games are a bit less appealing then games I can play already. Sorry I like playing games on consoles and less so dedicated handhelds. Not my phone. A preference and there's nothing wrong with that. |

458 of the 721 games I own are Japanese made according to the game vault app with Square and Capcom making up the majority of the lot. This includes the PC(steam), PS1, PS2, PS3, PS4, PSP, Xbox(have more Japanese games lol on it), 360, DS, 3DS, Wii, and cube.
So that's 63% and with PC and western games owning the consoles this gen that still seems like I have a preference for Japanese games. I mean Vanquish is one of the top games. Hell, I'm attempting to learn Japanese so I can play the import PSP games I have and plan to buy. Hell, I've already made headway on Type 0 and Yakuza Kenzen. So yeah, please don't say I'm anti Japanese games at all. I just don't have a bias like you and am not some huge fan of the niche otaku games that NIS and whatnot push. Games that seem tomake up the playstation system's niche games these days. Being critical of Japanese things does not mean I dislike them. |

For anybody curious: "Smartphones Make up Half of Japan’s $10.8Bn Games Industry" - According to market-intelligence firm CyberZ, the Japanese games market was worth $10.8 billion in 2013, with smartphones accounting for half of all consumer spending on games. Smartphones games generated $5.4 billion, a huge jump from the $3 billion, or 30% of the market, generated in 2012.
By far, Japan's top-grossing mobile games are f2p puzzle and card games, led by GungHo and its game Puzzle & Dragons. 
(Blue = puzzle-rpg, red = card games, green = casual puzzle) February 4, 2014 (iOS):
GungHo and Puzzle & Dragons are so big in Japan, they also top the 2013 global mobile game revenues:

Oh so actually, cheap casual games in Japan also dominate and not these "big real games". Wow guess Japan is just like America. I know it's terrible.

Seeing that chart with all those card games on there is pretty interesting. I suppose that's why KanColle is so huge in Japan right now. Japan loves card games with all of those and all the card game anime out there. Interesting to see how different Japan and America's markets are
